Garden Still Photography Party!

Studio 3, Inc. Seattle recently collaborated with longtime client Antica Farmacista on a joint video/ still photography project featuring a new product line shot in a classic garden setting. The lifestyle video shows Creative Director Shelley Callaghan dressing a table for a special event and highlights the elements of style that make Antica a high-end luxury brand perfect for every home.

When planning a project like this, that involves both video and still photography to capture the essence of our client, we always aim to make each component compliment the other rather than having them compete for the spotlight.  These multi-part projects are always fun and challenging for that reason.  For Antica Farmacista’s work, we wanted to show the care, craft, and most importantly the eye that the brand upholds with its products and aesthetics in each component. By showing the products in use as compliment to the product feature style used in the photos, a more subtle but meaningful approach to highlighting them, the video aspect of this work provides a practical grounding and deeper sense of the items and brand.

The end result is clean, beautiful video and still photography that exude the charm of Antica Farmacista’s wonderfully crafted products.  Even though we’ve been working together for some time now, it’s always a treat to have them come to us with their products, each one so full of personality and care, that let you know the people behind the company have a passion for their craft.

Antica Farmacista has captured old-world European charm and mystery with its collection of unique signature scents for the home and body that draw inspiration from the mystery of the Mediterranean Sea and the serenity of the gardens of Tuscany. Each fragrance is formulated with only the world’s finest essential oils and natural ingredients, and every product is meticulously produced and presented in an antique inspired apothecary bottle.

On-Location: Nintendo DS Lite + Wii

on-location
Nintendo’s newest version of the world’s best-selling portable game system has reported record-breaking consumer response. The new Nintendo DSi sold nearly 500,000 units in the first week following its US launch on April 5, 2009. Studio 3, Inc’s Seattle office was once again hired by Nintendo to shoot an on-location lifestyle photography campaign that spanned across the west coast, from a rainy university campus in Seattle to the sun-drenched beaches of Los Angeles.
The six-day project featured DSi users hanging out with friends at school, lounging in the sand, and relaxing at home. Studio 3′s producers hired a team of trusted stylists to help beautify the cast of 50 booked models and worked with local scouts to find and secure ten different locations for the on-location shots. The images are currently being featured in online DSi campaigns and will be included in various print applications both domestically and internationally throughout the year!
Among those fifty models, our stylists, assistants, and photographer, one thing held true all around: everyone had a favorite Nintendo game. So, in honor of all the memories and fun video games have provided us, we did some digging to see what games hit home in the Studio 3 Seattle office!
Let’s start off with what might be one of the most universally loved games of all time: GoldenEye 007. I think it’s safe to say that at least 50% of all sleepovers in the 90’s included at least 3-4 hours of intense GoldenEye matches.
Next up is quite a kick back to the days of SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System… yes that old one for all you young’ns): Scooby Doo Mystery. There’s something to be said about getting to play video games inspired by our favorite TV shows and movies and that something is “heck yes”.
Another Seattle office favorite that also bridges the TV-video game divide is the Pokemon series (Blue and Red, of course) for the Game-Boy system. As far as becoming a real trainer goes, the games got us as close as we could get without finding real Pokemon to catch. High fives to any of you that still remember those original American commercials with the school bus full of the Pokemon and how much you wished you could get on there!
Last and most certainly not least, while it might not be a game originally made by Nintendo, Space Invaders will always reign as one of the most fun, classic pieces of entertainment of all time. Whether played on a CRT TV monitor, a Game-Boy of any generation, a phone, or that Texas Instruments calculator everyone has for high school math, fending off those little aliens is infinitely fun and stressful in the best way.
Happy gaming y’all!
